TUTORIAL: Midnight Smoke Nail Art Inspired by The Sorcerer Heir

i'm satisfied to be a participant within the global of Weir weblog tour today, main as much as the release of Cinda Williams Chima's new ebook, The Sorcerer inheritor. not best do i am getting to do a little inspired nail artwork, but you men get a brand new video tutorial! This magical, eerie smoke impact is surely plenty less difficult than you may guess.


The Sorcerers are masters of fabric - they can create magical talismans, potions, poisons, weapons, and greater. they may be also acknowledged for his or her healing capacity, and feature sturdy ties to the color inexperienced. In my educational, i've blended what I realize about the guild with a few concept from the book cowl, which suggests a potion with mysterious smoke swirling round it. Who is aware of, you may even experience like a Sorcerer yourself with those nails!

For this appearance, you will want black nail polish, mild inexperienced nail polish, topcoat, 100% acetone, and a nail artwork brush or .

1. Begin by painting your nails with two coats of black polish.
2. Apply a generous coat of topcoat to protect the black polish before we move on to the next steps. Let dry.
3. Using your green polish, paint loose, wavy stripes across your nails, roughly where you want your smoke to end up.
4. Using a nail art brush to lightly dab 100% acetone over your green polish. Don't dab too much or too hard, otherwise the acetone may begin to eat through your black base.
5. Repeat on all of your nails. I like to make it look like the smoke is most concentrated on my pointer and trails off as it moves towards my pinky.
6. Clean up your cuticles if necessary using an angled brush and nail polish remover.
7. Finish with topcoat.

Surprisingly easy, right? Now if only I could create magical potions with just as much effort...
